Description

Laser polarization schlieren pick-up unit
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of new pattern laser schlieren pick-up unit, particularly relate to a kind of schlieren pick-up unit adopting polarized laser imaging, belong to detection technique field.
Background technology
Combustion process under microgravity condition is the emerging research field in Combustion.On the one hand, microgravity condition provides the method for best reduction Effect of Nature Convection, and the study mechanism for combustion process has important value, and this to the important industrial safety process study such as dust combustion and blast highly significant.On the other hand, under microgravity condition catch fire and fire spread has great importance for the fire safety evaluating of spacecraft, the research of microgravity fire spread by preventing for space capsule, the enforcement of fire-fighting safety engineering provides scientific basis.Microgravity combustion has become the important research direction in Combustion, and laser schlieren pick-up unit of the present invention, mainly for the particular surroundings of microgravity, high acceleration condition, has high stability, can adapt to the advantages such as heavy caliber.
Schlieren imaging is used for by L.Fuoacutl in the detection of optical glass refractive index at first.Schlieren system is according to the shape of light by measured stream place, directional light schlieren and the large class of taper light schlieren two can be divided into, the optical imaging concept of two class schlierens and the analytical approach of schlieren figure identical, difference is to be that light is converged in parallel rays or taper by measured flow field area.Directional light schlieren is divided into transmission-type and reflective two kinds, and transmission-type schlieren imaging system adopts lens as main focusing optic, and reflective schlieren imaging system adopts concave mirror as main focusing optic.The quality of optical imaging of transmission-type is good, but it is very difficult to process bigbore spherical lens; Existing reflective schlieren imaging system adopts the scheme of off-axis imaging usually, and optical system exists astigmatism and coma two class aberration, and quality of optical imaging is poor.
Liquid crystal light valve, as a kind of shaping device, can realize the accurate shaping to injecting laser beam.Liquid crystal light valve be filled with between two panels transparent electrode substrate 10 microns thick to row twisted liquid crystal, make the major axis of liquid crystal molecule that the distortion of 90 ° occur between substrate.To row twisted liquid crystal (twistednematicliquidcrystal, TNLC) when molecular material does not have a voltage-drop loading, light retrodeviates polarization state by half-twist through light valve, if have voltage-drop loading on row twisted liquid crystal, the orientation of molecule is subject to the impact of extra electric field, and can be changed along molecular orientation by polarisation of light state.This just makes impressed voltage can accurately control through polarisation of light state.This structure is placed between two orthogonal polaroids, just can realizes the modulation of laser amplitude.Liquid crystal light valve is exactly the array be made up of above-mentioned shaping infinitesimal, the length of each infinitesimal and wide all between 10 microns to 40 microns, array laterally comprises 1 to 2048 infinitesimal of closely arrangement, longitudinally also can comprise 1 to 2048 infinitesimal, light beam can be subdivided into the beamlet of infinitesimal number by such a array, realizes the accurate modulation to light beam.The shaping figure loaded by quick-replaceable, can carry out shaping, and the speed of shaping can reach musec order to energy (power) distribution directly writing laser.Liquid crystal light valve comprises transmission-type and reflective two kinds.Transmission liquid crystal light valve is to the incident beam modulation light that also scattering is unnecessary with reflection, forms required figure in transmission direction; Reflective liquid crystal light valve is to the incident beam modulation light that also scattering is unnecessary, and reflection direction is formed required figure.
In existing patent, the patent for schlieren imaging structure is a lot, such as US Patent No. 3582185, US3617130, US3631409, US20030103194, US20090060134 etc.Wherein US Patent No. 3847484 has set forth transmission-type schlieren detection system, adopts multiple lens to be gathered into the technical scheme of picture; For reflective schlieren imaging, such as US Patent No. 3582185, US3617130 have set forth respective claimed range respectively.US3582185 require that a kind of array edge of a knife segmentation light beam carries out the technical scheme detected, and US3617130 then require that reflective schlieren imaging system is carried out in a kind of catoptron two faces that adopt.
Current reflective laser schlieren imaging system all adopts the structure from axle, if adopt spherical reflector can there is very large optical path difference, aspheric surface therefore must be adopted to eliminate all kinds of aberration.But non-spherical reflector is expensive, poor stability, under gravity environment, fill school after, can off resonance be there is in the environment of non-gravity environment and high acceleration, reduce systems axiol-ogy precision.The present invention can effectively solve the problem, keeping system stability in the environment of non-gravity environment and high acceleration, and can make the large-scale schlieren imaging system that bore is greater than 1 meter, has good Practical significance.
